@Emily Shin landlord experience is invaluable for a career in rental real estate.It's not something you may want to do long term, but the experience can help you select and manage PMCs.

I or a partner have done at least two of his boot-camps over the years, including his land & commercial property which helped us buy our first three land joint ventures-with-the-sellers a few years ago – never has there been subsequent illegal charges, but I do read thoroughly the agreements and immediately notate in my day-timer the required termination date for any company’s teaser or rebate.Again, I empathize with those who had bad experiences with any company’s or guru’s teasers, but I’d suggest rather than avoiding teasers and rebates, take advantage of them!

I can buy landlord insurance without coverage on roof (wind/named storm peril) but is it worth the premium?

.- The inspections are only 5 years, but tenants are not likely to take care of them home as well as you, and refurbishing hardwood, lath and plaster, and anything else is going to be much more expensive than the typical Landlord special (white paint, and grey LVP)It will all come down to making your numbers work.

Some landlords also use escrow accounts for added security and transparency, especially if required by state laws.

What are some other things I should retain to make the landlord experience easier?

Mortgage laws, title and Deed laws, wire transfer laws, landlord tenant laws.Realize the seller of a distressed property has rights.

An eviction is a last resort, but also want to make sure I’m fully aware of the landlord/tenant laws  Yes, I believe all laws in all state say that. 

You'll have a small empire by the time you are 30.However, being a landlord involves a lot more than just collecting checks.

Work with your CPA to allocate more value to land and structure.
